Geometry Word Problems: Area & Perimeter Flashcards

A set of vocabulary-style flashcards solving area and perimeter problems for squares, rectangles, and right triangles based on specific lecture examples.

Square garden with a side length of $14\,feet$

Area = $196\,sq\,ft$, Perimeter = $56\,ft$

Rectangular classroom ($9\,meters$ long and $6\,meters$ wide)

Area = $54\,sq\,m$

Rectangular pool (Perimeter $96\,feet$, Length $30\,feet$)

Width = $18\,ft$, Area = $540\,sq\,ft$

Right triangle (Legs $12\,cm$ and $9\,cm$)

Area = $54\,sq\,cm$

Square picture frame (Area $225\,square\,inches$)

Side = $15\,in$, Perimeter = $60\,in$

Rectangular banner (Width $8\,inches$, Length twice as long as width)

Length = $16\,in$, Area = $128\,sq\,in$, Perimeter = $48\,in$

Right triangle (Base $16\,m$, Height $10\,m$)

Area = $80\,sq\,m$

Rectangular field ($60\,yards$ by $45\,yards$) fencing and cost

Fencing needed = $210\,yards$, Total cost = $\$630$ (at $\$3$ per yard)

Square patio (Perimeter $52\,feet$)

Side = $13\,ft$, Area = $169\,sq\,ft$

Rectangular flag (Width $36\,inches$, Area $810\,square\,inches$)

Length = $22.5\,in$

Right triangle inside a $20\,cm$ by $14\,cm$ rectangle

Triangle area = $140\,sq\,cm$, Rectangle area = $280\,sq\,cm$, Triangle is $\frac{1}{2}$ of the rectangle

Square room carpet cost (Side $11\,feet$, cost $\$4$ per square foot)

Area = $121\,sq\,ft$, Total cost = $\$484$

Rectangular garden (Length $18\,m$, width is half the length)

Width = $9\,m$, Perimeter = $54\,m$

Right triangle height (Area $54\,square\,inches$, Base $12\,inches$)

Height = $9\,in$

Rectangle properties (Perimeter $70\,cm$, length $5\,cm$ more than width)

Width = $15\,cm$, Length = $20\,cm$, Area = $300\,sq\,cm$
